Mad Hatter by Dreamin' N Details

I want to share with you this Dessert Table that was entered in our recent Contest by Cineca of Dreamin' N Details.

Now, Cineca just sent in pictures of her Dessert Table because we only required 1 table for the Contest, but this is a real party and there is so much more than the dessert table. I loved it and asked her to share with us all about the party. Here's the details as described by Cineca.

I was lucky enough to be able to put together this vibrant & fun 'We're All Mad' Mad Hatter Tea Party for a client's daughter this summer.

The birthday girl was very involved in the planning. She wanted bright colors, a large variety of candy & sweets and a sit down tea party.

I wanted to start with an amazing & unique invitation. I knew immediately that Piggy Bank Parties would be perfect for the job. Do & J not only custom designed the perfect invitation, but also an entire collection of party printables. Including signs, place cards, Eat Me/ Drink Me tags & labels.

The dessert table consisted of the birthday girl's favorite candies...gummy bears, M&Ms, swedish fish, gumballs, cupcakes, twix, jelly beans & twizzlers. I made chocolate covered marshmallows & pretzels, and the birthday girl baked her own cake. I mounted posters from the movie Alice In Wonderland on foam board to create a backdrop.

The guests arrived in costume, sat down for tea (pink, blue & yellow lemonade) and pizza, attacked the candy table, posed for pictures with the Mad Hatter himself (well, a cardboard Johnny Depp version LOL) and played pink flamingo croquet & badminton.
